Oren,

Thanks for your reply. A couple more pieces of info about this, because PT can be expanded to run multiple, multitimbral midi commands.

Energy XT does a fantastic job. There may be some who want to layer dx effects or dxi synths or integrate them into a vst/vsti mix. There are some real gems of effects and synths only available in dx/dxi format. There are vst to dx converters, but none commonly known that go dx/dxi to vst/vsti. Most new programs are progressive but have abandoned the dx/dxi format.

There are only two hosts that I know that will either convert dx/dxi to vst/vsti or directly host dx/dxi plugins. One is payware and one freeware.

Payware and a bit fragile, is Console:

http://console.jp/en/

This opens as a plugin in PT and loads multiple vst’s and dx’s.

There is a free, little known shell dx or dxi to vxt or vsti wrapper available from

http://www.xlutop.com/buzz/

Under “more downloads” get the dx_shell download.

Open this as a vst inside Energy XT (inside PT) and you can select favorite dx or dxi effects and synths that are not recognized natively. You can then mix dx, dxi, vst, vsti plugins for complex multilayer sounds all under the control of one PT track.

Best,
John
